Effects of Mussel Peptides on Growth and Development and Microbial Community Structure of the Thick-Shelled Mussel Mytilus coruscus Plantigrades by Qian LIN, Zheng LI, Jinlong YANG, Fan MA, Xiao LIANG

“…However, the mussel peptide concentration was too high (70 mg/L and 90 mg/L), which could cause lethal effects on the thick-shelled mussel M. coruscus plantigrades. The microbiome of the thick-shelled mussel plantigrades in the 28-day and 56-day treatment and control groups was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene amplification and sequencing. …”

“…IgA-coated fractions of the intestinal microbiota of Crohn’s disease (CD) patients have been shown to contain taxa that hallmark the compositional dysbiosis in CD microbiomes. However, the correlation between other cellular properties of intestinal bacteria and disease has not been explored further, especially for features that are not directly driven by the host immune-system, e.g. the expression of surface sugars by bacteria. …”

“…Study protocols are harmonised across generations.Findings to date Collected data include spirometry, skin prick tests, exhaled nitric oxide, anthropometrics, bioimpedance, blood pressure; questionnaire/interview data on respiratory/general/reproductive health, indoor/outdoor environment, smoking, occupation, general characteristics and lifestyle; biobanked blood, urine, gingival fluid, skin swabs; measured specific and total IgE, DNA methylation, sex hormones and oral microbiome. Research results suggest that parental environment years before conception, in particular, father’s exposures such as smoking and overweight, may be of key importance for asthma and lung function, and that there is an important susceptibility window in male prepuberty. …”
